The unit circle {(x, y) : x2 + y2 = 1} is divided into three arcs by choosing three random points A, B, C on the circle (independently and uniformly), forming arcs between A and B, between A and C, and between B and C. Let L be the length of the arc containing the point (1,0). What is E(L)? Study this by working through the following steps. a. Explain what is wrong with the following argument: "The total length of the arcs is 2Ο€, the circumference of the circle. So by symmetry and linearity, each arc has length 2Ο€/3 on average. Referring to the arc containing (1, 0) is just a way to specify one of the arcs (it wouldn't matter if (1, 0) were replaced by (0, βˆ’1) or any other specific point on the circle in the statement of the problem). So the expected value of L is 2Ο€/3."

b. Let the arc containing (1, 0) be divided into two pieces: the piece extending counterclockwise from (1, 0) and the piece extending clockwise from (1,0). Write L = L1 + L2, where L1 and L2 are the lengths of the counterclockwise and clockwise pieces, respectively. Find the CDF, PDF, and expected value of L1.

c. Use (b) to find E(L).

Adecibel is a logarithmic unit that can be used to measure the intensity of a sound. the function y = 10logx gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity. the reference intensity is generally set at the threshold of hearing. use the graphing utility to graph the decibel function.a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels. use your graph to you complete the following statement. the sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.
